[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
I actually did look into that one as well & even though it doesn't have some of the features I'd like it seems to do its job. I also read reviews from Amazon users who purchased the device & 30 out of 145 who did buy it complained about the device freezing. Still it got an average of 4 out of 5 stars.

I do have one concern though: Do these BT devices allow you to control streaming music apps or just the stock player? I downloaded a nifty streaming app called Dood's Music Streamer & was wondering if it would recognize commands from any BT device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kn0wBuddy:
The mic seems fine on the MW600s, I have had no complaints. It even seems to hear me fine when covered by a layer of clothing.

The MW600 is pretty tiny, however, and doesn't have the option of being worn as a pendant, so just be aware. That said, it has Play, Pause, SkipFwd/SkipBack, A Volume Slider (probably the most complained-about setup, since it's touchy and can be tough to use) & Call answer functionality... just know that the buttons are very small and all arranged around a tiny little barrel-like shape about the size of a AAA battery.

I love mine, especially that it has an FM radio also. I use it constantly to control Voice Command (which brings the phone out of sleep if you don't have a pattern/number lock set) which works very well.

Yes, you can use these (the MW600 at least) to control Google Music, Pandora, etc in addition to the stock music player (whatever is last active is what will be controlled). I haven't tested Dood's Music Streamer, so I'm not sure about that one, but if it doesn't work it's likely a problem with the software, not the bluetooth unit.

Got the Jabra unit pictured several years ago. Still have it, audio quality is acceptable but can attest to the poor mic quality.

[Motorola Droid Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Nice collection!

Say, do you have anything specific to CDMA bandwidth?

I know my 3G TurboCharger has a positive effect somehow even though most of the entries are GSM related but hey... every bit helps :D
[Motorola Droid Android Development] metalspring:
not sure if any of these would apply to data at all but i know kfazz posted them as the only ril settings for the droid, maybe this could further improve speed on all devices if anything applies to mobile data
[Motorola Droid Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Ok I guess those are boolean values soget either = 0 or =1 values then?

Well that's weird.. I didn't know there are ro.cdma values...

i searched for ro.cdma and found some others too

ril.cdma.ppp.up=3

ro.radio.use-ppp=yes

[Motorola Droid Android Development] zeppelinrox:
cool... maybe you can test them see if you notice a difference? :D
[Motorola Droid Android Development] metalspring:
I'll try it out but it I'll try it on something where the radio fully works lol, is still being fixed on the ics build but obviously I have to go back to gingerbread to make and receive calls, if it does anything on GB, then I'll test on ics, who knows it might fix the radio issues somehow
[Motorola Droid Android Development] DRSdroid:
A friend of mine just asked me to root his old droid for him to use merely as a multimedia (music & video) and google docs device. Strictly Wifi, no service plan.

i plan on rooting, wiping, and running SteelDroid on it for him:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098483

I came across these tweaks and they look AWESOME. I just have a few questions about some of them in particular.

Is this in the build.prop or elsewhere?

where do i find and change these? build.prop or elsewhere?

in build.prop?

Can i make 2 scripts in script manager that can do this? or are there any available? I know on such a low ram & low internal storage device, swap and apps2sdext would be INCREDIBLY useful.. any tips on making this permanent? If i can make a script in SM i know i can set it start at boot. But i wouldn't need to do that for a2sdext right? once that's set, it's set and needs no changes right?

Also, would you suggest a custom rom like steeldroid or would i be better off stripping out the crapware from the stock ota rom (froyo) and just flashing a better compatible kernel and using some tweaks & scripts to speed things up a bit and optimize them for his purposes.

Let me know what you think? :)

thanks!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] metalspring:
to the first 4 yes, just add them to the build.prop and for the last ones you can either use script manager to make a new script in the folder /system/etc/init.d

if you dont have an init.d folder then you have to have script manager to run them at boot (i'd suggest having the scripts in /data) and for apps2sdext, i'd suggest using the app link2sd, its basically the only way to control moving apps to the sdcard ext

also the biggest help for low ram devices is v6 supercharger and all the other zeppelinrox scripts

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021

and i'd highly highly suggest steeldroid 10, its what i currently run and most of the tweaks i have in this thread are already included in it

and btw if you didnt know, in order to use swap and link2sd you have to format your sdcard and repartition it, the easiest way is installing rom manager, flashing clockwork recovery and there should be an option to partition your sdcard in rom manager (it will erase everything on your sdcard so back everything up)

also i'm going to update this thread with more stuff i've found
[Motorola Droid Android Development] metalspring:
updated and cleaned up op
[Motorola Droid Android Development] DRSdroid:
awesome! thanks! yea i know about partitioning the sdcard. I use both swap and a2ext on my htc g2, but they are part of the kernel on the ROM i run, i've never used any other software to initiate them.

Thanks for the tips!

Also, how can ANYONE flash roms from XDA and NOT know about the AMAZING supercharger v6 script! :D
[Motorola Droid Android Development] motrinHD:
first of all I want to thank the OP! being how this is not my phone but my brothers. he wants me to root it and install a rom. this thread made everything a whole lot simple.

now to bug you guys.. where can I find a suitable system recovery apk for this phone? I have one installed but it never boots into recovery. also I haz steel droid 10 running.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] metalspring:
if you're talking about a droid 1 then the instructions to root should install a custom recovery

If you're talking about a droid x2 as your signature suggests then I'd say try looking on droidforums.net... They are more dedicated to the droid series of android phones and I know any Motorola phone other than the droid 1 is more complicated because of a locked bootloader

You can try downloading rom manager to flash a recovery for either phone I believe

Also if you are already rooted and think you have a working recovery then try installing android terminal emulator from the market and typing in

su

reboot recovery
[Motorola Droid Android Development] motrinHD:
I am talking about the droid 1. tho I spf'd to 2.2 I then went with the one click root method. and it placed a system recovery apk on my sd but I find that it does not work. I'm going to try that emulator thing you suggested
[Motorola Droid Android Development] bigeasy911:
MS,

I have learned alot from your posts. Thanks for the time spent sharing them. A few questions.

You mention and I have noticed many of the tweaks are already incorporated into Steel Droid X. (I am currently running the rc1 version with the last Deprimed Kernel.) Am am liking it ALOT!!.

Is there anyway you could somehow put a denotion on the tweaks that are already included in SDX? I think it would be helpful, as I certainly would find it so.

How much of a effect did you find running v6 supercharger had given the other changes already in SDX? Any conflicts or issues running it with this ROM?

I am planning on partitioning my SD card as I would like to try the benefits of a swap partition. Upon checking my usage I am considering a 128mb. Seems like a safe size all around. Believe you have posted this somewhere as well? Card is a 32g class 4. I have never messed with running a swap. Currently, I have a standard single FAT32 format part. I have a number of programs already set as loaded on the SD card so I will have to move those back.

I believe SDX has apps2sdext already, correct?

From your post I take I still need links2sd to have the apps to go to that swap partition?

Is there a good link to info on the hows, workings, etc on the swap partition, apps works? I can search for one, only if you happen to have a link handy.

Thanks for all your help.

Looks like Google is getting sick of carriers and manufacturers messing with their hard work.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MadFlava:
I hope this sticks. Im sick of Touchwiz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Fantastic.

At first I thought this might chap the asses of Motorola, LG, Samsung and (especially) HTC...but it doesn't seem to be saying "NO CUSTOM UI FOR YOU"...which is probably smart. Since there are many app markets now--an especially notable contender being Amazon--handset makers may not give a ****...though to volley it back again perhaps that would lose them any lawsuit insulation Google may (or may not) have been giving them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Verizon tried that with the fascinate and an LG phone, and it didn't work out too well for them. , it seems like the future ui's will be limited to just a launcher and apps, which can easily be replaced with stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
I hope they stick to it. This would be great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
...so no mucking with the framework beyond what something in an apk and/or widget could provide?

I will pray that this is the case.

I'm not so hopeful.

Either way, if they got pissed enough at google it wouldn't be the same as the Bingification of a couple phones by the carrier--though that is always a (remote) possibility. They could use Google for default search (I'm sure Google would still prefer it), they just couldn't use GAPPS or put a Google logo on the thing. I'm sure you know all of this already...But, alternate apps are available and alternate markets exist....big ones, notable ones with big names behind them (ahem, Amazon and a handful of much smaller fish)....I think the only thing Google might bring to the table for their compliance is implied or actual protection in the WW3 of lawsuits crisscrossing the industry.

But, whatever about that tech-navel-gazing... I hope what you suggest is true. I read the article and got nothing more than "key aspects" of the UI should stay mostly stock, if thats cool....unless Google is planning on putting the screws down, which I pray they do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rrmzr1:
Its about God damn time. Scratch touchwiz, sense, and MAP.

This doesn't prevent companies from using a custom UI. It only assures developers that stock UI assets are there.

^^^THIS^^^

What about device themes?

We have no desire to restrict manufacturers from building their own themed experience across their devices. In fact we’ve gone further to make this even easier. In Android 4.0’s API (level 14) we’ve added a new public theme family to complement the Holo family introduced in Android 3.0: DeviceDefault. DeviceDefault themes are aliases for the device’s native look and feel. The DeviceDefault theme family and widget style family offer ways for developers to target the device’s native theme with all customizations intact.

Formally separating these theme families will also make future merges easier for manufacturers updating to a new platform version, helping more devices update more quickly. Google’s Nexus devices alias DeviceDefault to the unmodified Holo themes.

source

so what this say is we will have touchwiz, and htc will have sense. but developers can call on the holo theme for their apps and the framework will be there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clfblackhawk:
Good, I'd love for it to stay vanilla.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ddrt:
Maybe I don't understand what the article is saying. Are they saying that places like settings will stay where as the dialer and contacts will be different?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Flash a theme in the xda theme section to get an idea of what a theme changes. Google has their official ics theme called Holo. They are saying this theme has to be used if the manufacturers want to have gapps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
I just have to go on record by asking...

Daneurysm, did i not forsee this (Google market and app restrictions) as being the strategy to enforce less manufacturer meddling in our conversation a week or two ago?

And that it would be subtle, and in baby steps?

;)

I called it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
not "used" its saying the theme must be left in framework for apps devs to call upon it for their apps. read the whole article, lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ddrt:
Ah, so they're saying "you can have your themes but leave ours there". That's a great standard of practice. I wonder why it wasn't always this way?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Yes, you called this weeks ago. We had 4 pages of me and you pontificating back-n-forth on the ramifications Google enforced stock ICS, etc, et al, ad nauseam....and this was in fact your premise.

I just hope you were right about the rest of the progression...baby steps indeed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
The thoughts on this is to stop the Fragmentation, and make it easy for app devs to have one app for all devices.

I personally am a fan of touchwiz 4+... what I would like to see is users given the option when they set up the device (IE when you enter google acct, etc) on whether to use the TW interface, or stock Android. I think that would be the perfect medium to satisfy all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
I am hopeful as well...just play your cards right Google.

Since all the underlying frameworks got the theme

are there, will it be easier for devs to make roms that don't have touch wiz?

If ICS really is just SystemUI and framework-res for it's framework, that'll actually make theming across phones very easy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
I don't think this really changes much, everyone will still have their own theme, but devs can code for holo, so we'll have a mix of holo and manufacturer themed layouts.

Sounds like this will benefit developers and help them make apps standard across devices by having the theme "library" on all 4.0+ devices.

Pretty much what it what it says int he final thoughts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I think these devices should come with stock Android launcher and manufacturer launcher as a second option.

Same issue from a lend out phone at JB Hifi

Having the same issue only the phone is a spare lend out phone from JB Hifi while my SGS2 i9100T, which I purchased about a week ago brand new, is in for a screen assessment (bad blue tint) just so I can get a refund. I powered up the lend out phone no problems, worked for a while then stopped working, won't power up or anything. Download, recovery, usb jig, battery out 5 mins, battery charged seperately in charger, phone is dead.

Shame on you JB Hifi Canberra!

Wish I had a fix for you :( Unfortunately, given it's a loan phone, you're a bit limited so far as flashing something else goes (I wouldn't risk it, put it that way).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
It could be a problem with a faulty SD card - Remove it and try and switch on.

It could be a problem with the screen - If any of the key-lights come on, then that is likely the problem.

It could be a problem with a very flat battery - I had this problem with an old HTC. The solution was to remove the battery, plug in the phone to the charger (not USB to computer), leave it for a couple of minutes, plug in the battery and leave for a couple of hours. Finally try and power it on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slither2006:
Turned out that the "loan phone" they gave me was a returned faulty phone from a previous customer. They gave it to me simply to shut me up!!! I came back the next morning and confronted them and they gave me a motorola defy loan phone????!!!!! I swear they will bend over backwards to avoid having to refund a phone. He asked another sales person why it was returned and was told that the phone was randomly powering down!!!!!! :eek: I asked them what happened regarding the previous customer and the store person said JB lost that claim and had to give in to the customers request(whatever that was). That gives me evidence that a refund at JB may exist?:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yeah ? That's disgraceful :mad: And Australian retailers honestly wonder why Australian consumers avoid buying from them at every possible opportunity. There's one more reason right there.

**** em. If a phone starts playing up badly within a week like that, the retailer should replace it no questions asked. At the end of the day they're going to be reimbursed by Samsung, them doing the right thing like that just saves you the grief of having to go thru hoops with Samsung.

And given they couldn't/wouldn't do that with you in the first instance, I'd demand a "decent" lend phone i.e a brand new SGS2 (which they should have given you in the first place). If they refuse to play ball, make a scene in front of other customers. Get management involved. Threaten them with consumer affairs, etc.

I have a similar issue

Hello, Im not sure if i am having the excact same issue, but this thread seemed similar to what im expereincing.

i bought a S2 6 days ago, reached into my pocket today to find my Display wont turn on.

did some standard stuff, power cycled.

removed the battery, soft and hard reset.

i got the screen to work for a second when i booted into download mode and it prompted to confirm this is what i wanted to do, but otherwsie the screen seems dead. when i power it on, nothing happenson the screen.

did i somehow like turn my brightness to 0? or like turn off the display?

i dunno i just upgraded from a Galaxy Spica, so im not super familiar with the handset yet.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
